Their dedicated stuff is dirt cheap, although if you are trying to put your own OS on it they are quite a pain (some ancient Java web plugin).

Networking has been occasionally unstable for me, though. Their vlan stuff being 1400 mtu is also annoying.

does this suggest that their networking gear is also dirt cheap or is this just an artifact of legacy compat and/or not wanting to wory about jumboframes?

1500 mtu has been around for a long time. It's less likely their gear is cheap and more likely they're using that overhead for encapsulation.

Dirt cheap and you'll have issues with the network if you do anything meaningful, or rather slightly more complex, IME..
